conversation-starting content on pregnancy BECAUSE they feel awkward,

uneducated, and overwhelmed when it comes to starting their learning process.

Goals

I want to bridge the knowledge gap, break stigma, and turn taboo into conversations about the pregnancy journey, from pre- to postpartum.

Research

1-on-1 Interviews - over 15 personal interviews with both mothers, and young women from ages 17 to 65.

Expert Insight - I had the privilege of conducting an interview with a Certified Mid- Wife who teaches at the college level.

Online Communities - Looking Online showed me the problem is not the lack of information, rather the delivery.

Personal Reflection - I never really had helpful conversations about the real and logistical parts of sex or pregnancy with anyone. Through this project I have seen the importance of it and been blown away by how different women can experience such different things – but also how they all agree with passion that this is important to know about.

Execution

This book tackles the widespread lack of accessible, relatable pregnancy education for young women. Traditionally, pregnancy knowledge is reserved for those already expecting, leaving others unprepared and uninformed. The book removes the stigma by making pregnancy a normalized, preemptive topic of conversation. Its casual, mentor-like tone makes it feel like getting advice from a friend—funny, honest, and judgment-free.

By demystifying bodily changes, fertility, and pregnancy symptoms, the book empowers young women to feel confident and informed long before they are ready to have children. The conversational “Let’s Talk About It” sections encourage open dialogue, providing talking points and reflective prompts that foster meaningful discussions with friends, partners, or mentors. This directly addresses the issue of young women turning to impersonal, overwhelming internet searches for information. Instead, they are equipped with friendly, bite-sized knowledge that builds their confidence and encourages further exploration.
